Frequently Asked Questions
Why does this only include machine made parts, not all the parts?
The goal of this product is to make it as affordable as possible for the customer (you). That being said, we would rather give you a blueprint that is easy to follow so you can cut out the majority of the parts instead of charging you for the cost, markup, and shipping to build and send all the parts to you. We do send you the machine made gussets and light brackets for the professional touch.
This course is easy to follow, but what if I have a question? Will there be support available?
Absolutely. We make sure every customer is able to fully complete their rack. All purchasers will have full access to email and phone support (with a real human) ensuring any and all questions are answered.
